M.Ing. / This study involves the mathematical modeling and experimental verification of a heat exchanger accumulator. The study was initiated with a literature survey which, according to the author, revealed that there was no published material that described how heat exchanger accumulators are designed to ensure that they are correctly sized according to the operating system and conditions. The heat exchange process that takes place within the heat accumulator was studied and a mathematical model of a heat exchanger accumulator developed. This model was used to develop a universal design procedure that correctly sized the heat exchanger accumulator according to various requirements identified by the author. The model was then verified by conducting experimental tests and it was concluded that the model could be used to design heat exchanger accumulators.
